[edit] Some common Problems with VSFTPD
- Problem: When Logging into VSFTPD from another computer, I receive the error:
500 OOPS: vsftpd: not found: directory given in 'secure_chroot_dir':/usr/share/empty

Here are some common solutions...
[edit] Secure_Chroot_Dir
Add this line to the bottom of /opt/etc/vsftpd.conf
secure_chroot_dir=/opt/usr/share/empty
and make that directory:
mkdir /opt/usr/share/empty
[edit] FTP User
Also, check /opt/etc/init.d/vsftp check this line is included:
nano /opt/etc/init.d/vsftp user = admin
The file should look like this overall:
# description: The vsftpd FTP server serves FTP connections.
# it uses normal, unencrypted usernames and passwords for auth
service ftp
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
user = admin
server = /opt/sbin/vsftpd
server_args = /opt/etc/vsftpd.conf
wait = no
nice = 10
only_from = 0.0.0.0/0
}
Change the user 'admin' if you have changed any usernames on the WL-HDD (it is the username you use to login to the web interface!).
Also, if you have anonymous ftp enabled, you need to add the user ftp to your passwd file, see the Adding Users guide
[edit] Disable Anonymous FTP
Even better, would be to disable anonymous FTP:
nano /opt/etc/vsftpd.conf
change
anonymous_enable=YES
to
anonymous_enable=NO
Hope this helps?
